A middle-aged man was seated behind me and just as the flight took off, this man stretched his right foot on the armrest. He then moved his right foot behind my back and neck, and I felt somebody brushing against my back. When I realised what he was doing, I became alert and tried to move towards the other end of the seat but when he didn't stop, I felt uncomfortable.
